NHSE54 IMOS RFI

North of England Commissioning Support is working for and on behalf of NHS England (North) Cumbria and the North East who wish to commission Intermediate Minor Oral Surgery Services for patients with a defined need, who are unable to be treated by a General Dental Practitioner (GDP) within primary dental care and for whom the complexity of their treatment need does not necessitate care provision in a secondary care setting.

The aim of the service will be to deliver high quality Intermediate Minor Oral Services (IMOS) through two lots:

Further details on lot locations can be found in Section 4.2 of the draft service specification.

A Request for Information (RFI) process is being undertaken to engage with the market in order to inform the further development of draft proposals for the future service delivery. NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal to manage this Market Engagement and communicate with providers. There will be no hard copy documents issued to potential providers and all communication with NECS, including your submission, will be conducted via the portal hosted by PROACTIS https://www.proactisplaza.com/SupplierPortal/?CID=NECS
